We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves of complex fluids. The modifications to the classical measurement provide for (1) a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction (for qualitative, quantitative, and trace analysis); (2) temperature me…

DFT calculations give insight into the formation of peroxo intermediates 1-8 from a series of Cu(I) complexes bearing N-hexadentated macrocyclic dinucleating ligands, suffering an oxidation by their interaction with molecular oxygen. The discussion is thus based on the side-on peroxo cores, omitting the case of comple…

Abstract BACKGROUND: Determination of dynamic relaxation consists of measuring the viscous and the elastic components of a material by generally applying a small (oscillatory) deformation. The shear stress is transmitted to the material via contact with a substrate. Dating at least back to Stokes, the no‐slip boundary…

The structure of the ζ phase of Pigment Red 53:2 was solved using electron diffraction data. The unit cell determination appeared to be more complicated due to twinning of the crystals. A series of electron diffraction patterns derived by sequential crystal tilt around a main axis consisted of two complementary sequen…

Abstract A dynamic MC model was developed to simulate the polymerization kinetics and the detailed microstructure of copolymers made with ATRP in a batch reactor. The model was used to predict monomer conversion, average molecular weight, polydispersity index, and copolymer composition as a function of polymerization…

The role of catalyst size and geometry in hydrocarbon decomposition is elucidated using density functional theory (DFT). For the sake of clarity, the work focuses on the dissociative adsorption of H 2 and CH 4 on an icosahedral Ni 13 cluster and a Ni(111) surface. Both H 2 and CH 4 adsorb molecularly at t 1 sites of t…

The natural orbital functional theory is considered for spin uncompensated systems, i.e., systems that have one or more unpaired electrons. The well-known cumulant expansion is used to reconstruct the two-particle reduced density matrix. A new condition to ensure the conservation of the total spin is obtained for the…
